Management of Residential Development in Settlements
a) In order to ensure that speculative (windfall) housing development on
non-allocated sites (PC1.23) contributes to sustainable development
and the continued evolution of viable communities, the following
types of residential development will be acceptable in principle,
within Development Limits 12 : in different settlement types, as follows:
• In Selby, Sherburn in Elmet, Tadcaster and Designated Service
Villages – conversions, replacement dwellings, redevelopment of
previously developed land, and appropriate scale development on
greenfield land (including garden land and conversion/
redevelopment of farmsteads).
• In Secondary Villages – conversions, replacement dwellings,
redevelopment of previously developed land, filling of small linear
gaps in otherwise built up residential frontages, and
conversion/redevelopment of farmsteads.
b) Proposals for the conversion and/or redevelopment of farmsteads to
residential use within Development Limits will be treated on their
merits according to the following principles:
• Priority will be given to the sympathetic conversion of traditional
buildings which conserves the existing character of the site and
buildings
• Redevelopment of modern buildings and sympathetic
development on farmyards and open areas may be acceptable
where this improves the appearance of the area and
• Proposals must contribute to the form and character relate
sensitively to the existing form and character (PC1.22) of the
village
c) In all cases proposals will be expected to protect local amenity, to
preserve and enhance the character of the local area, and to comply
with normal planning considerations, with full regard taken of the
principles contained in Design Codes (e.g. Village Design
Statements), where available.
d) Appropriate scale will be assessed in relation to the density,
character and form of the local area and should be appropriate to the
role and function of the village settlement within the settlement
hierarchy.
e) All proposals in villages washed over by Green Belt must accord
with national Green Belt policy.
